The loss of Toure is very disappointing but as someone else said, it may mean that BR can force the hand of FSG in signing some quality at CB. Let's face it, before this season started, not a lot of people rated Toure's acquisition as being that pivotal. Now he's injured he's irreplaceable?! What it will do, unfortunately, is put up the price of any CB we're interested in.
Also, we're quick to deride Skrtel but, if the press are to be believed, we've had a number of decent clubs sniffing around for him. Is he that bad?
On a brighter note, I think we would have lost that game a year ago. There appears to be more belief in the team. That's three wins on the trot!
